Hong Kong can learn from mainland China’s rapid push on development: Paul Chan
Finance chief says Hong Kong will leverage its role as a ‘superconnector’ to help strengthen ties with Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region
Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po also pledged that Hong Kong would align with national development strategies and stay focused on accelerating the megaproject near the mainland border, a key platform of the city’s Greater Bay Area integration.
Hong Kong would also leverage its role as a “superconnector” to help strengthen ties with the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region, Chan said in his weekly blog post on Sunday.
He said approval of the blueprint’s recommendations, as well as the rapid development of Beijing’s sub-centre and Xiongan, highlighted the mainland’s unique development model.
“Witnessing the dramatic transformation of [Beijing’s sub-centre and Xiongan] in just a few years deeply inspired our delegation. We believe their experiences offer valuable insights for the future development of Hong Kong’s Northern Metropolis,” Chan said.
